    Mice...seem to breed faster t han rabbits. Help!

    I have a cat but she has not been allowed into the chicken area because she is such a bird killer. I guess the girls are big enough to take care of themselves.

    Mice...seem to breed faster t han rabbits. Help!

    How to get rid of mice who have created Carlsbad Caverns under the egglu and run and extended run. I dismantled the nearby composter. Found a nest of baby mice. Cute, but.

    Looking for Roos in east central Kansas

    Hi! I have a handsome Ameracauna cockerel, 10 weeks old. He has a black head and beautiful pheasant-colored body with some wing patches of copper! Spectacular. Is Colorado Springs too far to travel? DeAnne http://www.threechickenfarm.blogspot.com

    mean chickens

    I got a good reply to that problem which has worked. Hang a cabbage in their run. It seems to keep them occupied with something to peck. It worked. I also tried to give them more space. The boredom of close quarters seems to aggravate pecking. We would get pecky too!

    Skunk & My Brave dog's Misery PEEEEEEEEEEEEEW !

    When I worked for a vet in Austin, TX we used Gain laundry powder. It has little green and blue specks of enzymes in it. You need to mix the powder with water until fairly dissolved. The old traditional tomato juice thing is an attempt to apply an acid to an alkanine or vice versa. Good luck...
